Surprising - Brigand Arms BLADE M-Lock Handguard

So besides this thing being stupid lightweight it is surprisingly great in the following ways. 1) Super rigid braids to the point where you can't squeeze and feel the it cave in like some aluminum lightweight rails. 2) Easy to attach rail segments to. 3) Doesn't heat up at all! I mag dumped 3 mags of wolf polyformance and then 1 mag of some Winchester pdx defensive ammo after using 3 mags of slow but consistent fire of tulammo to tune gas block and sight in an rds. After the fun dumps the hand guard itself was the ambient air temperature. I could DC feel the heat radiating off barrel, block, and the gas tube but it wasn't even uncomfortable. I will say the barrel nut and jam nut did heat up but wasn't burning me. All of this was using a pencil barrel so the heat was as bad as it could've possibly been. This should've been a huge selling point for them but they seemed to have missed this for whatever reason. I did have to contact them for a replacement right after getting I TV from usps because the braids were twisted and it annoyed me, it wouldn't have been a deal breaker with the edge model. Customer service was awesome and the issue was resolved within the week I shipped it back to them. I guess it goes without saying that, yes I like the handguard. Well worth the money and I will continue to buy their handguards.
